A homeowner in Stockton, NJ, observed signs of foundation damage evident in the uneven surface of their home's floor. Over time, the settling of the house had resulted in bowing and cracking of the foundational support beams. The improper placement of piers and the use of deteriorating materials had rendered the existing support inadequate for the home's full weight. Our team of experts at Quality 1st recognized how to effectively reinforce the foundation and level the floors.
We installed our SmartJack Support System as a permanent foundation support solution. These piers, constructed from galvanized steel, are adjustable to accommodate the specific needs of a weakening foundation. This installation provided a durable reinforcement for the home’s foundation, leveling the floors and alleviating the homeowner's concerns.

When Basement Design Specialist Mike Fiorillo met with this customer about sagging floors in the home above the crawl space, he proposed a permanent solution to his foundation issues. The SmartJack Support System, which includes corrosion-resistant galvanized steel adjustable support columns that can support over 60,000 lbs.were installed by foreman Jonathan Neira and his crew to provide immediate and permanent stabilization and to restore stability.
This Franklinville, NJ homeowner became increasingly alarmed as the floors above their crawl space began to slope and sink, classic warning signs of foundation settlement. With growing concerns about the safety and longevity of their home, they reached out to Quality 1st for a professional evaluation. During our inspection, we discovered that the crawl space support system was no longer capable of holding the weight of the structure, leading to visible sagging and compromised stability.
To resolve the issue, our team designed a customized repair plan featuring the installation of our patented SmartJack Reinforcement System. This system is engineered to not only support and stabilize weakened floor joists and beams but also provide the ability to lift them back to their original position. Our crew installed heavy-duty steel posts on custom base footings to ensure a solid foundation for long-term performance. Once fully secured and adjusted, the SmartJacks immediately restored the structural integrity of the home, eliminating the uneven floors and preventing future settlement.
The homeowner was relieved to see such a dramatic improvement and now enjoys the peace of mind that comes with a safe and stable home!
